Method and apparatus for securing a pile of newspapers or magazines or other materials

Abstract

Two pieces of material such as paper stock secured about the edges. A pull tab at about a mid-portion of each edge of the paper between pull tab at a mid-portion of each edge of the sealed members and a length of material randomly positioned between the papers or fan folded between the papers for securing a subsequent bundle of newspapers or magazines placed on top of the sheets of papers. The opposing pull tabs are pulled out and a finite length of string or other material is fastened between the two which is used to subsequently tie or tape the bundles of newspapers or magazines.

I claim: 
     
       1. A recycling apparatus for securing a pile of newspapers or magazines comprising: a. a first rectangular planar sheet of paper material with four integral perforated tabs substantially at a mid-point of each side;   b. a first length of securing material positioned on said sheet of material, each end of said securing material secured to each of said integral perforated tabs which oppose each other;   c. a second length of said securing material positioned on said sheet of paper material, each end of said securing material secured to said integral perforated tabs which oppose each other; and,   d. a second planar sheet of paper material positioned over said first sheet of paper and over said first and second lengths of said securing material and said sheets of materials secured about the edges whereby said integral perforated tabs with said securing material are pulled to detach said tabs from said first planar sheet to stretch out said securing material for securing about a pile of materials.   
     
     
       2. The apparatus of claim 1 for securing a pile of material such as newspapers or magazines wherein said sheet of material is selected from the group of paper, cardboard, polymer, or nontear-nonrip material. 
     
     
       3. The apparatus of claim 1 for securing a pile of materials such as newspapers or magazines wherein said securing material is selected from the group of string, twine, polymer string, polymer tape or filament tape. 
     
     
       4. The apparatus of claim 1 for securing a pile of materials such as newspapers or magazines wherein said sheets include printed or graphics information. 
     
     
       5. Method for securing a pile of material comprising the steps of: a. laying a recycling apparatus of claim 2 on a flat surfacer; placing a pile of materials on said first planar sheet;   b. pulling opposing first integral perforated tabs to detach said tabs from said planar sheet with securing material outward, up and around a pile of materials;   c. securing said securing material to itself about said pile of materials;   d. pulling opposing second integral perforated tabs to detach said tabs from said planar sheet with securing material outward, up and around said pile of materials; and,   e. securing said securing apparatus to itself about said pile of materials whereby said securing materials tie or strap about said pile of materials.
